Classic Salted Caramel Shake
This recipe serves 1
Ingredients
- 2 large scoops of vanilla ice cream
- ½ cup cold milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons salted caramel syrup
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Extra salted caramel syrup (optional, for drizzle)
- Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, cold milk, and salted caramel syrup. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker shake, add a little more ice cream. For a thinner texture, splash in more milk and blend again.
Pour into a tall glass. Top with whipped cream if desired, then drizzle additional salted caramel syrup over the top. Add a light sprinkle of sea salt for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon—it’s that thick and satisfying.
Tips to Customize Your Caramel Milkshake Recipe
Want to personalize your salted caramel shake? Try using chocolate or butter pecan ice cream as a base for a flavor twist. You can also blend in a handful of crushed cookies or a tablespoon of peanut butter for added texture and richness. If you're keeping it dairy-free, use a creamy oat milk or almond-based vanilla ice cream for the same indulgent result.
